SAN ANTONIO (Dec. 13, 2016) - The Colorado Avalanche announced today that goaltender Spencer Martin has been recalled from the San Antonio Rampage (AHL). In addition, the Rampage have recalled goaltender Nathan Lieuwen from the Colorado Eagles (ECHL) and released forward Thomas Frazee and defenseman Justin Agosta from their professional tryout contracts.

Martin's second recall to the NHL serves as the Colorado's ninth recall from San Antonio this season. He looks to make his NHL debut as he joins former Rampage players Cody Goloubef, Calvin Pickard, Nikita Zadorov, Andreas Martinsen, and Mikko Rantanen in Colorado.

Martin, 21, has appeared in 18 games with San Antonio this season, recording an 11-7-0-0 record, .924 save percentage and 2.31 goals-against average. The second-year pro is tied with Milwaukee's Juuse Saros for the most wins this season, and holds the fifth-best rookie goals-against average. Martin played in 18 games for the Rampage last season, registering a .921 save percentage, 2.65 goals-against average, and CCM/AHL Player of the Week honors in late March.

Lieuwen, 25, joins the Rampage after appearing in 12 contests with Colorado. The fifth-year pro has recorded an .882 save percentage and 3.48 goals-against average with the Eagles this season. Originally drafted in the sixth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, the Abbotsford, B.C. native has logged 118 professional games, including seven NHL appearances with the Buffalo Sabres.

San Antonio returns to the Alamo City for its annual Ugly Holiday Sweater Night, presented by New Amsterdam, against the Tucson Roadrunners on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at AT&T Center. Friday's game will also be a Bud Light KISS 99.5 $1 Drink Night. Fans can purchase $1 domestic beers and sodas throughout the game. Rampage games can be heard on Ticket 760 and SARampage.com.
